I saw an interesting coin on a stamp today. This one is a bit pricey, but not as expensive as the coin in good shape. The auction has several stamps with coins. You can go to the link to see more - http://www.stampcircuit.com/content/ing-yacov-tsachor The stamp - Lot #10 - THE INTERNATIONAL LARGE GOLD DOAR IVRI COLLECTION – PART V 250m (#7f) PERF 10x10 single w/Tab perf 10 at base of tab as prepared for the Minister Sheets tab is of full length, left marginal; u/m, very few light spots, vf & well centered for this stp, Rare, Ba 7f - $2500, signed Hoexter, certif Tsachor A similar coin, thanks to ascsearch and Heritage Jewish War (66 - 70 AD).

I would like a Jewish Revolt silver coin or stamp, but I think they are out of my price range for now. I have one in bronze. I will see if I can find the matching stamp and post both. Go to the stamp auction and see if you can find a coin you have and post the coin and stamp. Or just post your Jewish Revolt coins.
